pro-choice is indeed a misleading term, they should really be called pro-abortion.

Hon, anyone who thinks a choice is more important than a life is pro-death.i really don't think anyone is actually pro-abortion
pro-abortion implies that women want to get pregnant just so they can have an abortion
pro-abortion implies that women want to get pregnant just so they can have an abortion
Thanks, Rus
and another thread dies at the hand of:
The Education Thread Killer
j/k
Lewis is at one and the same time provocative, tactful, biased, open-minded, old-fashioned, far-seeing, very annoying, and very wise.
Dear Rus,
Of course I was just kidding. Didn't you see the j/k at the end of my post?
That sounds very interesting and relevant! I don't know how I could get a hold of a copy, though. Amazon is not readily available to me.Okay, I recently purchased a scholarly book on euphemisms after reading your first thread on this topic. I have got to find it first because I misplaced it when I had to evacuate during that Station Fire (which is still burning now for more than a month here in L.A.). This book went into the various types of euphemisms and gave many excellent examples. I found it on amazon.com. Euphemisms and Dysphemisms: Language used as a shield and weapon by Keith Allan. It was published in 1991 by Oxford UP. Have you obtained a copy? Of course, it is written by a contemporary linguist, so you may take some exceptions, but there is a lot of truth and interesting information in that book.
